Aquatint engraving from the series: "The Tour of Doctor Syntax in search of the picturesque." A man dressed in a black tricorn hat, white wig, black coat, black knee breeches, black gators, and black shoes sits on the back of a horse. The horse's head is partially obscured by a wooden signpost. In the background, to the viewer's left, are four donkeys. Two donkeys are laying on the ground and two are standing. The scenery in the background is green rolling hills, white and pink clouds, and a blue sky.
